The beautiful geranium is a perennial herb. The leaves of this plant are evergreen all year round and the flowering period is particularly long. It is usually most suitable to be made into potted plants and cultivated indoors. However, many people don’t know much about its cultivation methods. They don’t know how to grow geraniums or what to pay attention to during the cultivation process. Today, the editor will introduce this knowledge in detail so that everyone can easily grow geraniums after understanding it. How to grow geranium1. Suitable temperature When you grow geraniums, you must provide them with a suitable temperature, because geraniums are an ornamental plant that likes warmth but is afraid of high temperatures and cold. They grow fastest when the external environment is between 15 and 25 degrees. In winter, they must be kept in an environment above ten degrees, and in hot summer weather, when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, they must be cooled in time, otherwise they will enter a dormant state. 2. Moderate light Geranium is a plant that likes sunlight, but it cannot be placed in an environment with direct sunlight in the hot summer weather, otherwise its leaves will be burned by the strong light. In spring, winter and autumn, geranium can be placed directly in a sunny environment, and in summer, it needs to be shaded as necessary. After geranium enters the flowering period, it should be moved to an environment with scattered light in time, which can effectively prolong its flowering period. Things to note when growing geraniums1. Apply growth regulators If you want to make the geranium plant beautiful when you grow it, you must pay attention to the use of growth regulators. When the plant grows to about 12 to 15 cm, you should spray it with dwarfing agent in time, and then spray it once a week for 2 to 3 times in a row, and ensure that it has sufficient light, so that you can effectively control the height of the geranium and make its plant shape more beautiful. 2. Timely pinching When growing geraniums, you must also pay attention to timely pruning. When its branches grow to about 20 cm, you must pinch them. This will encourage it to grow more branches and allow it to bloom more and more beautiful flowers. However, the pinching should not be too heavy, otherwise the number of leaves will be reduced, which will affect its growth. In severe cases, the number of flowers will be reduced, reducing its ornamental value. |
